REVIEWS

The authors’ writing has an almost musical quality, as if the stories were intended for recitation. The authors do not wish to altogether upset the legal system or unsettle the social structures that brought about these twelve injustices; rather, they modestly “attempt to listen to and gain a glimpse into” what twelve wrongly convicted men “held onto when they were tested in ways that would crush most people.” Read entire review.
Southern Literary Review | March 2011

"The numbers are staggering. The statistics are sobering. TESTED isn't about the numbers. It's about the lives and stories of twelve men who were wrongly convicted. What seems genuinely surprising throughout is that the men retain their inner strength without giving in to bitterness or despair. But even as Peyton Budd retells the men's stories, those staggering numbers still manage to haunt."
    San Francisco Book Review  |  January 2011


TESTED is a fine read, and a strong addition to any social issues collection.”
